Denmark and Germany meet again — with EHF EURO title at stake
There is just one day of competition left at the Men’s EHF EURO 2026 — and it promises the most excitement. On Sunday, the title and bronze medal will be decided on Herning.
As captain, I'm appealing to them to give that last bit of effort in the final, even though we know it has to go almost perfectly for us to stay in contention. We want to seize the opportunity and be able to say to ourselves after the game: We did a good job, no matter the outcome.
I don’t think us and Germany are going to make big changes before the game. We only have one afternoon to work, so maybe we will change a little bit one thing or another, but it’s not going to be completely different. I am sure both teams will play 120 per cent, taking their last bit of energy. It’s very exciting.
It's a completely different game to the main round — now it's about a medal. Of course, it was also important in the main round because every point counted towards the semi-finals. They are a very good team with top players in every position. It will be a big challenge.
These games, for bronze medals, are often decided by the mentality and not only on handball. It’s always hard to recover from a loss in the semi-final. Both teams don’t really want to play this game but, in the meantime, a medal is still something important. I think it would be fantastic to win a medal — it would show that Iceland are a team who is able to fight for the best positions.
